    tankie spaces aren’t able to contribute to a leftist movement

    Right, like I said, left-bashing.

    Btw, is Hasan Piker a tankie? Because he bashed him too, and he’s by far the largest leftist politics streamer with an enormous influence and broad appeal. But I guess he’s not ideologically pure enough for Adam Something so therefore he’s a tankie and useless.

    His whole way of thinking is entirely idealist, as if creating an ideologically pure movement (ironically, by ditching any semblance of socialism including even the word, in favor of “super capitalism”), the left will automatically win. Nowhere in the video does he discuss any positive vision or any actually strategy other than punching left. Obviously, he serves as nothing but an off-ramp to get people to abandon leftist ideas they might otherwise be inclined towards, the only question is whether he’s doing it intentionally or is just a useful idiot of the right.

      He made a case against elitist/purist versions of leftism, so you accusing him of excluding people that aren’t ideologically pure enough indicates that you massively missed the point.

      Similar with “left-bashing”: he’s a leftist, why would he? He has views about what makes us unable to be attractive to a wider audience, that’s constructive criticism.

        I understood his message perfectly, nothing “flew over my head,” it’s just that his message is stupid and wrong so I’m criticizing it. And you’re resorting to condescension since you have no ability to answer my criticisms. Is Hasan Piker a tankie, yes or no?

        No doubt you’re within the circle of the personality cult these sorts of people tend to form and can’t imagine the concept of someone understanding and disagreeing.
